Islandmagee Energy Ltd

Islandmagee Energy has been developing the Islandmagee gas storage project for a number of years having undertaien Pre FEED (Front End Engineering Design) completing FEED in late 2018, during 2019 various environmental surveys were undertaken and the pre construction baseline has been set. Ongoing public information and consultation sessions have been ongoing locally in Islandmagee during 2019/20 and the final marine licence is expected to be issued during 2020 which adds to the existing planning permission issued prior to the construction of the wellsite.

Islandmagee Energy

To date approximately £15m has been invested in the project InfraStrata plc owns 100% of InfraStrata UK Limited, which in turn owns 100% of Islandmagee Energy Limited, the operating firm developing the Islandmagee salt cavern gas storage facility.

The Islandmagee facility is a strategic infrastructure project, the first phase of which will provide a safe, secure and flexible supply of natural gas for the entire island of Ireland, which relies upon gas for some 60% of its power generation. It is intended that the second phase of the project will extend its reach into the UK mainland. When complete, the facility will store 450 million cubic meters of gas, sufficient to satisfy peak demand for electricity in Ireland for around 14 days. The project will facilitate the transition period way from to cleaner energy and the facility is capable of storing hydrogen as the energy transition happens over the decades to come.

Several funding options are available to the business to enable the company to take FID (Final Investment Decision) which we envisage being during H1 2020

Harland & Wolff (Belfast) Limited

On the 5th December 2019 InfraStrata plc completed the acquisition of the assets of Harland & Wolff Shipyard in Belfast from the administrator. This strategic acquisition enables InfraStrata to realise synergies on its existing Islandmagee project given its neighbouring location some 24NM away and the extensive fabrication facilities at Harland & Wolff. Having completed a strategic review of the facilities post acquisition it is clear that Harland & Wolff can be utilised in adjacent markets to our existing projects building on our overarching strategy of operating high value strategic infrastructure facilities. With over 30,000m2 of undercover fabrication facilities, two drydocks of a capacity that there are only a few others globally the facilities are very unique and have in recent years not been fully utilised.

The primary goal of the directors of InfraStrata plc is to enhance shareholder value by profitably realising the value of its Islandmagee gas storage facility project, securing long term profitable revenues for the Harland & Wolf Facility and developing other projects as they become available.
